Issue in Publishing Power BI Report Server with Local AD

 

Hi PowerBI Experts,

 

Scenario

 

  • Local AD is set is contoso.com for testing purposes with server domain controller with the named as DC server.

  • Setting up a Power BI Reporting Server testing environment with SQL Server 2016 Enterprise Trail with server name as SPSQL

  • Installed and Configured SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) Wide World Importer samples from GitHub.
  • Had set up SQL Server 2016 WWI-SSADMD as shown:

    • Installed and Configured latest version of Power BI Enterprise data gateway on SQL Server 2016 box itself.

    • Clicked open the Power BI Desktop (Aug 2018) version for Power BI reporting server.

    • In Power BI desktop, Get Data >> SQL Server Analysis Server database.

    • File >> Publish to Power BI service with my Office 365 login credentials as john.smith@abc.com   

      05 Publish to Power BI.jpg

    • Selected the Workspace.

    • As I have configured enterprise gateway earlier, the publishing was successful.

Challenge   

 

  • In the Power BI URL https://app.powerbi.com I get this error.

    08 Error Publshing and no visual is shown..jpg
  • Under Managed Gateway, the Gateway Clusters shows that it's Online

  • Data Sources is also successful with my Local AD accounts.

  • I mapped the uses as per Power BI documentation

As I am doing Power BI Reporting Server for the first, can you please advice how can resolve my issue? 
Any help would be highly appreciated.

Hi All, 

 

I have resolved the issue. 
Instead of my local AD accounts, I had to use the SQL Server User Account

  • Data Sources is also successful with my Local AD accounts.  (SQL Account)
